Option | Description |
---|---|
Attach document |
Attaches a copy of each selected document to the email message. No workflow is started for the document and the copy is not tracked by Meridian. You can also attach vault documents to an email message by dragging them from any Navigation view and dropping them onto an open message window just as you would from Windows Explorer. |
Add PowerUser Shortcut |
If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your PC, Meridian adds a shortcut to the body of the email message that the recipient can click to open the document in PowerUser. If Microsoft Outlook is not installed on your PC, Meridian adds a vault query for the document to the body of the email message. Recipients can copy and paste the query into Windows Explorer to open the Meridian vault in PowerUser with the document selected. |
Add PowerWeb URL |
Adds the URL of the document to the body of the email message. Recipients can copy and paste the URL into Internet Explorer to open the vault in PowerWeb with the document selected. |
Attach rendition |
Attaches a copy of the current rendition of the document to the email message. |
